Cloning and characterization of tRNA (m1A58) methyltransferase (TrmI) from Thermus thermophilus HB27, a protein required for cell growth at extreme temperatures.

N1-methyladenosine (m1A) is found at position 58 in the T-loop of many tRNAs. In yeast, the formation of this modified nucleoside is catalyzed by the essential tRNA (m1A58) methyltransferase, a tetrameric enzyme that is composed of two types of subunits (Gcd14p and Gcd10p). In this report we describe the cloning, expression and characterization of a Gcd14p homolog from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus. The purified recombinant enzyme behaves as a homotetramer of 150 kDa by gel filtration and catalyzes the site-specific formation of m1A at position 58 of the T-loop of tRNA in the absence of any other complementary protein. S-adenosylmethionine is used as donor of the methyl group. Thus, we propose to name the bacterial enzyme TrmI and accordingly its structural gene trmI. These results provide a key evolutionary link between the functionally characterized two-component eukaryotic enzyme and the recently described crystal structure of an uncharacterized, putative homotetrameric methyltransferase Rv2118c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Interest ingly, inactivation of the T.thermophilus trmI gene results in a thermosensitive phenotype (growth defect at 80 degrees C), which suggests a role of the N1-methylation of tRNA adenosine-58 in adaptation of life to extreme temperatures. << Less

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TRM6 and TRM61 compose a tRNA methyltransferase which catalyzes the methylation of the N1 of adenine at position 58 in tRNAs, especially initiator methionine tRNA. TRM61 is the subunit that binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine and both subunits contribute to target tRNA binding. In order to elucidate the catalytic mechanism of TRM6-TRM61 and the mode of interaction between the two subunits, expression, purification, crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of the TRM6-TRM61 complex were performed in this study. The crystals diffracted to 2.80 Å resolution and belonged to the trigonal space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 139.14, c = 101.62 Å. << Less

Modified nucleosides in tRNAs play important roles in tRNA structure, biosynthesis and function, and serve as crucial determinants of bacterial growth and virulence. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutants defective in N1-methylation of a highly conserved adenosine (A58) in the TPsiC loop of initiator tRNA are non-viable. The yeast m1A58 methyltransferase is a heterotetramer consisting of two different polypeptide chains, Gcd14p and Gcd10p. Interestingly, while m1A58 is not found in most eubacteria, the mycobacterial tRNAs have m1A58. Here, we report on the cloning, overexpression, purification and biochemical characterization of the Rv2118c gene-encoded protein (Rv2118p) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is homologous to yeast Gcd14p. We show that Rv2118c codes for a protein of approximately 31 kDa. Activity assays, modified base analysis and primer extension experiments using reverse transcriptase reveal that Rv2118p is an S-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent methyltransferase which carries out m1A58 modification in tRNAs, both in vivo and in vitro. Remarkably, when expressed in Escherichia coli, the enzyme methylates the endogenous E.coli initiator tRNA essentially quantitatively. Furthermore, unlike its eukaryotic counterpart, which is a heterotetramer, the mycobacterial enzyme is a homotetramer. Also, the presence of rT modification at position 54, which was found to inhibit the Tetrahymena pyriformis enzyme, does not affect the activity of Rv2118p. Thus, the mycobacterial m1A58 tRNA methyltransferase possesses distinct biochemical properties. We discuss aspects of the biological relevance of Rv2118p in M.tuberculosis, and its potential use as a drug target to control the growth of mycobacteria. << Less

The modified nucleoside 1-methyladenosine (m(1)A) is found at position 58 in the TPsiC loop of many eukaryotic tRNAs. The absence of m(1)A from all tRNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants lacking Gcd10p elicits severe defects in processing and stability of initiator methionine tRNA (tRNA(i)(Met)). Gcd10p is found in a complex with Gcd14p, which contains conserved motifs for binding S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet). These facts, plus our demonstration that gcd14Delta cells lacked m(1)A, strongly suggested that Gcd10p/Gcd14p complex is the yeast tRNA(m(1)A)methyltransferase [(m(1)A)MTase]. Supporting this prediction, affinity-purified Gcd10p/Gcd14p complexes used AdoMet as a methyl donor to synthesize m(1)A in either total tRNA or purified tRNA(i)(Met) lacking only this modification. Kinetic analysis of the purified complex revealed K(M) values for AdoMet or tRNA(i)(Met) of 5.0 microM and 2.5 nM, respectively. Mutations in the predicted AdoMet-binding domain destroyed GCD14 function in vivo and (m(1)A)MTase activity in vitro. Purified Flag-tagged Gcd14p alone had no enzymatic activity and was severely impaired for tRNA-binding compared with the wild-type complex, suggesting that Gcd10p is required for tight binding of the tRNA substrate. Our results provide a demonstration of a two-component tRNA MTase and suggest that binding of AdoMet and tRNA substrates depends on different subunits of the complex. << Less
